 Giguere says he wants to stay ... and be No. 1

Ducks Jean-Sebastien Giguere - Icon SMI
ERIC STEPHENS

Fully aware of the uproar created from his outspoken frustration about his backup status, Ducks goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere said he does not want a trade and only wants a chance to win back his starting job.


"I want to be part of this team," Giguere said Wednesday. "I want to be a No. 1 here in Anaheim. This is the team I've been playing for the last 10 years. I absolutely love playing here. I think this team has great potential. I want to be here."

Giguere said he was being sarcastic about calling it a career Monday when he told the Los Angeles Daily News that he'd rather retire than back up Jonas Hiller if he cannot regain the starting job.

However, the 32-year-old veteran said he stood behind his willingness to speak out about the job that he held for the most part since the second half of the 2000-01 season until last March.

"I don't regret what I said but it didn't come out exactly how I wanted," Giguere said. "I just wanted to say I'm not done. I want to compete. I don't want to be written off. I'm still here and I wanted to battle and have fun."

Amid speculation the Ducks are trying to move him and rid themselves of the $11 million-plus they still owe the goalie through next season, Giguere said his comments weren't meant to force General Manager Bob Murray's hand.

In other words, this isn't a Dany Heatley-type situation where he's making it public he wants out.

"What I really mean by that is I'm not having fun not playing," Giguere said. "But I'm not going to just stay on the bench and collect my money and say, 'It's OK. It's no big deal.'

Because none of this was covered in the last Giguere article...
